Long story short, I got this phone as a present, but fucked up chinese UI won't let me operate properly with widgets (also no rooting is possible yet and let's face it, it will never be). Basically I want to flash a custom ROM on it, probably Cyanogen 13.

Do you know of another smartphone with the same/similar specs so the flashing will result not in bricking?

>>58211221
yes no yes meh

>>58211227
>Do you know of another smartphone with the same/similar specs so the flashing will result not in bricking?
Sorry but it doesn't work that way. The custom ROM needs to be made specifically for that model for it to work. And if it doesn't even have root I really doubt it'll have custom ROMs available.

>>58211221
What do you value more, battery life or performance? 5" or 5.5"? Planning to install a custom ROM?

Also you might want to wait until Redmi Note 4X is announced

>>58211327

battery life ideally, but do want the power to kick in when needed. Definitely want to install a custom ROM.

should i get a mate 9 for 500 euro
why and why not

Why do people believe that budget phones are somehow not up to manufacturing standard? Do they not realize that their $900 memephones cost under $250 to produce? They're literally paying for marketing payroll, not hardware or quality assurance so this entire concept of "omg chinkphones must be of lesser quality" is retarded.

>>58211370
just get a op3t

Are all Android devices backdoored leaky pieces of datamining shit from the factory still?

Carrier IQ went out of business so what replaced them?

Just got the iPhone 7 (u jelly fàm??).

What are some apps I should get?

Is the iPhone 7 too big or are my hands too small?

>>58211404
>wanting a smartphone
>doesn't want nsa
LMAO

>>58211412
an icloud password for your stolen iphone

>>58211432
it's a relatively big phone, yes but your hands may also be small so

>>58211305
What do I do then? The goddamn System UI won't let me put widgets on Nova and it feels kinf of pleb...

Samsung Galaxy S6 for the past two years has worked great for me. However, the home button is shitting the bed and is not registering my clicks or plenty of times goes straight to the camera, which barely happens when I actually want it to.

I'm in the market for a new smartphone. My must have features are:

- Wireless charging
- Fast access to camera
- Mobile Data toggle in notification dash

Nice to have:
- Fingerprint recognition
- Under 500$ price tag

>>58211450
The NSA can't be helped at this moment. I'm more concerned about carriers and manufacturers mining data to sell to advertisers

>>58211455
root it with kingroot. it should work with all those loe end MTK phones.

>Definitely want to install a custom ROM
out of the 4 phones you mentioned only the RN3P and ZUK have custom ROMs available. RN3P gets around 8-10h SOT and the ZUK around 5-6h. The SD650 in the RN3P is less powerful than the SD820 in the ZUK, but near equal to last year's flagship SoC SD810 so still more than powerful enough for pretty much anything you'd do on a phone.

>>58211544
cheers mate, but its camera certainly lacks and ideally I want a good snapper as well for when I need it. Is the note 4x going to have a better camera than before?

>>58211482
If you're fine with touchwiz then just upgrade to s7 edge

>>58211482

Also, why rooting?

>>58211455
change launcher.

>>58211626
Same shit with every single launcher m8

>>58211571
Almost certainly, it's the successor to the RN3P after all

does using fast charge or wireless charging really kill your battery faster? i keep hearing people say it, but no one has any evidence

>>58211654
I'm also interested about this.

ZTE Nubia Z11 Mini S looks good, but there aren't many reviews out yet.

Moto G4 plus is a good option too.

guys,

Is there somehting comarable to the redmi note 3 pro but with the lte band 20 enabled ?

something around the 150 € mark.
similar batterylife and fast charge would be great.

>>58211581

What's the difference between the C7 and S7 other than the screen resolution?

>>58211940
the redmi note 3 pro special edition has band 20 iirc
who knows if the note 4X will have it

>>58211971
Look at the fucking specs.

Going to buy an s7 edge, but i'm quite uncertain on which color, silver or gold?

>>58212855
If you care about privacy, it is never a good idea to buy a China phone.

>>58212968
Black

>>58212968
gold is for persians and muslim faggots
black if you want a fingerprint magnet
silver if you want a bitchmagnet

>>58212975

thanks for the tip, but the question was aimed at the current prices

>>58212855
mi5 price should drop soon because of the mi6. But most chinaphones are already dirt cheap.

>Axon 7

>Pros
-great build quality. It looks very nice in gold.
-great screen
-flagship tier processor, ram, and gpu
-amazing audio
-expandable storage up to a 256gb MicroSD on top of 64gb internal. This makes it better than the OP3 imo if you aren't into custom ROMS
-$350, ridiculous value
-great battery life and quick charging
-dual sim, works with CDMA and GSM

>Cons
-no waterproofing
-camera has a trash auto focus and isn't good in low light. The camera is good in manual mode in well lit venues.
-capacitive buttons aren't backlit
-locked bootloader

>In defense of the OS
I think a lot of the changes here are welcome. A clear all button was added to recent apps, along with the ability to lock apps so they aren't accidently cleared. A neat toolkit is included. A service where ZTE pushes new 1440p wallpapers everyday to the lockscreen helps show off the great screen. Dolby ATMOS isn't a gimmick; it really works.

>verdict
A very nice looking, well thought out, powerful multimedia centered phone at an amazing price. If you are more into custom ROMS and want to spend a little more money, I'd get the OP3. If you are more into multimedia, this phone really wins with expandable storage, great screen, and God tier audio (for a phone).

I wouldn't wait for the Axon 7 max or drop down to the Axon 7 mini. The 7 max has a stronger processor, but has a 6" 1080p screen. The mini is only $50 cheaper but worse in every way, except for the audio.

>>58213045
how much will it drop by, do you think?

>>58211654
bump, also not sure if mi5s > mi5 for $20 extra

>>58213045
>>58213671
>soon
Xiaomi Mi6 is still months away. And Mi5 was already succeeded by the Mi5s so the price drop has happened already

So I want something around 300 Freedom bucks. I accent display (minimum 5.5"/FHD), battery life, metal body and smooth system. I don't plan any custom ROMs simce I have other device for fucking with. I don't give a shit about audio/waterproofing/NFC and other pretentious shit. I don't need removable battery. I would like at least decent camera, but that is negotiable. Frequently updated system is definitely a plus.

So far my champ is Redmi Note 4. Are there any alternatives which come close?

>>58214036
If you're in the US most chink phones are missing the network bands you'll need

>>58214080
I'm from Eastern Europe, Xiaomis work fine here, can even get LTE in bigger cities without trouble.

Shouldn't this thread be called /sfg/? There's no 'p' sound in smartphone.

Recently bought a consumer wireless moto g4 play from Target for 100$ and coming from a Z3 with a dying battery and finnicky charging port I'm completely satisfied. Plenty of power to do everything i want to do and i don't feel obligated to use a case because I spent so little on it if it gets fucked in a years time I'll just buy another one. My only gripe is the lack of an LED notification light but it isn't effecting me as much as i originally thought it would, almost put me off of the phone completely.

What is the best ROM available for the OnePlus 3?

>pic unrelated

>>58214036
I'd wait at least until the Xiaomi announcement at CES 2017 (the Note 4X maybe?) before getting a new phone

>>58214339
Sultanxda's CM13

Is a Xperia Z1 compact still worth buying (used)?

is google pixel a good phone?

>>58214415
Depends how cheaply you can get one. It isn't completely obsolete specwise yet

>>58214519
Best camera on market, great specs overall.

Way overpriced for what it is, problems with sound, some reports about problems with battery at low charge.

Quite ugly on outside, but nice software.

IMO unless you care enough about camera and non-chink customer support so much that you'd pay double price, there really isn't a reason to get it over OP3T for example. (which I just did few hours ago)

>>58214535
I was looking at some that cost around 130€, but now I think they are in too bad condition, and I don't want to spend more than that
I'm looking at the Moto E 2nd gen too, but Tbh the 1GB RAM turns me off a bit
I just want to get a phone with 4.7" screen max

Currently have a Galaxy S3

I might get a Moto G4, but I want to know any anons opinions of it.

If any kind anon wants to help, can you tell me if FiLMiC Pro will work on your device? They make a free app that will tell you what your phone can/can't do with it. I want to be able to use it as a backup camera for shoots.

Dumb question.

What's the best used smartphone for $50.

Or should I not even bother.

>>58214655
130€ is too much for that phone anyway. Plenty of good chink phones available if you can handle 5", not much under though

>>58214788
What phones are available for $50 where you live? Phones such as HTC One M7 and LG G2 should still be perfectly useable

>>58214980
Where I live? Probably nothing.

What about on eBay or something? Or is it something I'm better off trolling CL for

I need a decent 2016 smartphone for up to 190$. I don't want no chinkshit, because I was hyped up by Redmi 4 Prime until I found out it doesn't have global rom and I don't want to spend an entire day making that vendor crap usable. Please help

>>58214928
The ones from the sticky?
Actually I think 4.7" is on the big side already. I guess I'll go into some shop and try some phones with 5" screen
Is there anything inherently wrong with the Moto E 2nd gen? It's 91€ on amazon right now

So, I was really excited to get the Axon 7. I was in love with it's duel front speakers and low price, but everything I've read about that phone says the software is filled with ridiculous bugs. Guess I'll have to forget about it.

Now I'm considering the OP3 and the HTC 10. I was looking at the Xperia XZ, which also has front speakers, but it seems pretty underwhelming for the price. My uncle thinks I should get the Galaxy S7 unlocked.

I dunno, I'm pretty lost right now.

Anyway to make gboard smaller? Its so fucking big, or should I just go back to swiftkey

>>58215216
You want da camera? S7
You want da overall high quality? Htc 10
You want da overpriced chinkshit? Op3
You want to overpriced quality? Xperia XZ

>>58215141
At 5" you have very good phones such as ZUK Z2, Redmi 4 Pro or Mi4C to consider, under that and it's mainly budget phones with terrible specs.

Though as far as budget phones go, the Moto E is probably one of the better options.

>>58215216
The software is fine. A few of the issues people had with the software just got fixed in an update. The devs seem to be responsive to the community. It's also $350 now on Amazon.
The main issue is its camera, but you can't expect a Google pixel or iphone camera on a $350 phone, much less one that refuses to compromise in so many areas like the axon 7.

>>58215101
It's just a matter of time before it gets one. Also new phone coming from Xiaomi soon, announcement at CES on Jan 5th

>>58215436
okay, thanks for your answer.
I'll have to try some 5" phones then and see if they are too big or not

Actually I barely use my smartphone for anything but whatsapp, 4chan, osmand and rarely browsing, but right now I have a Huawei Y300, which is still okay, but terribly slow.
I guess I would be happy with the Moto E, but I'll try to get my hands on some 5" phones, but I don't know if they would be overkill for me.

>>58216155
Its easy to root, you cant root it without triggering knox
If you fuck up and brick it you can just reinstall a 935f firmware and itll be fine.

Of course not, thats like asking if you can somehow download arch linux to your mp3 player and install it on a laptop with a broken keyboard without making use of the keyboard or an usb cable.

You wanna root that shit, you absolutely need a PC because youre gonna have to unlock the bootloader as well, as for the knox thingie you can just flash the original rom on it and youll have your warranty back, its not 100% guaranteed and probably wont be for another year but thats all you got for now.

what's the best budget chink phone for T-Mobile USA coverage?

good battery life would be nice, don't care about camera at all

What's a good midrange android phone that supports Sprint and doesn't look ugly/has good battery life?

>>58215216
Unlike what
>>58215442 said, there are bugs. Like 2 "big" ones that can be dealt with pretty easily.

1. Apps force closes on screen off.

Due to weirdly aggressive battery management, certain apps (significantly Spotify) start to get kicked out of memory after about a day of phone on. This is annoying, but a reboot fixes the problem immediately and lasts approx. 24 hrs. Moreover, the phone has a scheduled reboot function that you can set up so it reboots automatically while you sleep and you'll never notice the issue.

2. Some apps not properly pushing notifications or starting up.

I personally experienced this problem a few days ago when my alarm didn't go off. Again, it is caused by the over aggressive battery management built in. This can also lead to email or text notifications not working for some people. But again, the battery management can be modified on an app by app basis, and disabling these functions fixes the problem.

All other "big" issues have been fixed on the US version as of the most recent update (e. g. Signal issues or the notification bell). I'm not saying this is 100% the best phone for you, there are plenty of other quirks to the software that come with the territory. Those quirks have been done to death by you tube reviews.

Not the other guy but god damn, I'm so conflicted on the Axon 7. I really want to get it but I just don't trust those god damn chinks and their crap software. I got burned on the ASUS Zenfone 2, and I don't want to get burned again.

Why do you guys not like high end samsung phones, is it literally only the price?

>>58216508
>>58216605
S6 and OP3 used to have very similar issues caused by too aggressive battery management, and both got fixed shortly after they launched. With the OP3 you could even fix it yourself simply by changing 1 or 2 values in the developer settings.

I'm guessing the reason it hasn't been fixed yet is that it's coming with the nougat update

>>58216605

Look anon, there are different levels of Chinese phones. This phone ain't the same kinda crap that you'll get for $150 off AliExpress, okay. This is the kind of phone you walk out of an average best buy with.

Is it perfect? No. But what phone is?

Go spend like 10-20 minutes, maybe more, looking up reviews of the phone on YouTube and report back to me if you have more questions.

>>58216750
I have watched a lot of videos and articles actually and I'm very impressed, especially since I'll be using it for music the most which it's clearly good at if not the best. But something in my gut just keeps me from biting the bullet. Maybe I should wait a bit until the software is more mature.

PRIVILEGE

>>58216809

Fair enough dude. I had the same feeling when I was deciding what to upgrade from my Nexus 5 to. However, there is no way you're going to get a better deal on it that what you can right now with holiday sales, this thing is amazing at 350 bucks.

According to the devs, nougat is slated to release in January. I wish I could give you details on how that will look, but those in the beta had to sign an NDA (and I obviously didn't get in). So software maturity is coming, but this isn't really the phone to go crazy with Roms and stuff on. I do miss that about my Nexus, but otherwise I'm liking the phone.

>>58215952
>>58216284
>>58216340

I think one of the main appeal for these budget samsung galaxy phones are that they come with AMOLED displays which are a little hard to find in phones under $400. Looking at the specs it also comes with microSD, FM radio, 3000 mAh removable battery, and NFC if you care about muh android pay.

It might be better to wait a week or two more for the 2017 version to come out which is supposed to be upgraded with a 1080p display and have a nicer design.

A lot of people on the ZTE forums say this doesn't fix the problems. Maybe their phones are worse off?

>I'm not saying this is 100% the best phone for you, there are plenty of other quirks to the software that come with the territory.
I'm fine with a few quirks, and I'm even okay with it not having the best camera of it's class. But the fact that it needs to be rebooted everyday isn't a good sign. I know everyone is waiting for the nougat update next month and hoping it'll fix everything once and for all. Do you think it will?

It's nice to hear from someone who owns one.

Is the nextbit robin worth it? or is there a better phone for that price?

>>58217321
Battery is kinda eh. I hope they come out with a 3000+ ma version.

I got a top of the line iPhone 7+ for Christmas from my rich as fuck uncle

Is iTunes really the only way for the phone to interact with the computer? Just how much does Apple stifle MUH FREEDOMS? I haven't used an apple device since 2009

Maybe I should sell it and get a good android phone? I already have a Moto G4 too

Can confirm
>Posting from axon 7

>>58217281

Well, the fixes seem to work for me. I've not had any issues with notifications and my alarm works now. It could be their phones are either the Chinese or global variants, which are on different Roms from the US version.

>I know everyone is waiting for the nougat update next month and hoping it'll fix everything once and for all. Do you think it will?

Oh boy, that's really the 350 dollar question isn't it.

Short answer: Maybe

Long answer: People on the forums and XDA say that the issues I've mentioned only popped up one or two updates ago, and are not even an issue on the global ROM because of differences in settings. It seems like every update changes things, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse. I've only had the phone since black Friday, so I can't give you any personal experiences. I think that with how much people complain about the battery management issues, ZTE will have to fix them. But seriously anon, I don't think "everything" will be fixed in one update, I just hope most things are. And there are worse things to do besides a reboot to make a phone usable.

>>58217321
At $145 It's a really good deal

I'd feel a little bad selling a gift, but if you prefer android then go for it

>>58217201

thx desu

>>58217506

it's not that bad, I would use it, it's a high end phone and will do whatever you want, selling such a nice gift would be kind of crappy

a lot more people on here would use iPhone 7s and there would be less hate for them if they could hand over 800bucks for a phone, i promise you that

>>58217614
>>58217655
You're absolutely right with those sentiments, the gift was actually meant for my mom though. She didn't like it because it was too big for her so she gave it to me. I figured that since it had already been passed on once, what happened to it from that point wouldn't matter so much.

But after some thought I'll give the phone an honest try. It's just awkward because I had stuff like SyncThing set up for my Moto and I detest iTunes as a program. Hopefully Clementine should work okay with it.

>>58214676

bumping question about Moto G4

The boost J7 on amazon IS the 2016 model dipshit.

>>58216244
2016 variant is pretty okay, has the snapdragon 615 and 2GB of RAM which includes 8-bit HEVC hardware decoding which I think will be important as fuck in the long run.

I was gifted a used S6 -- is it really a locked-down prison? I'm drowning in bloatware.

>>58217575
Thanks for all the advice, anon. On this issue of different roms, where do you guys think is the best place to buy the Axon 7? Amazon, Jet, or ZTE themselves?

I think that US citizens have less to fear from Chinese government/corporations mining their data and reading their email than NSA doing it.

>thats like asking if you can somehow download arch linux to your mp3 player
tbf: a lot of phones can be rooted by apps, sometimes even webapps.

>>58218408

No problem. Happy to put all the research I did to work.

Obviously, if you live in the US you want the US version that has the right bands. Pretty much all major sellers have it at $350, except for the ZTE website where it's full price. I would go with best buy personally, they are selling it with a free 50 dollar gift card. If you want though, you can get it on Newegg and get a free set of overpriced, meh tier headphones. I wouldn't do that though, cause $300 for this phone is insane

>>58217810
It is a good phone, but the novelty wears off pretty fucking fast, after youre done setting up your apps and transfering some music/videos/images to it there is absolutely nothing else to do unless you really like to use memebook, snapfag, twatter etc daily since most social apps are optimized for ios, there arent any good ios exclusive games either, thats why most people here will tell you iphones are for normalfags, niggers and dumb women, it has everything they could ever want all in one nice package and it doubles as an homosexuality/status symbol for the vain or rich aka them.

With an android phone there are a lot to choose from and once you do it can be customized extensively even without root, if you do root it you can then fuck around with custom roms, xposed, audio enhancers, over/underclocking and other little tweaks like modifying the onscreen buttons, adding or modifying gestures/buttons and more, your phone will always be different from the others.

t.someone who bought the 5s at full price on release date because i wanted a "premium" experience and used it mostly as an expensive alarm clock until i got the note 4

Wow. So they waved the 3T around and got everyone excited, only to not be able to supply it and even fuck up with customs.

>>58220857
They're probably just going to push the S8 even harder than usual and stay away from the Note until late 2017.

>>58220881
I wouldn't say miui is outright better, but it is more mature.

Also miui hogs much more ram, but if you've got a phone with 3GB or more it won't be an issue.

redmi note 4 or mi max? Or anything else for around that price point?

I think sometime next year it'll be time to replace my note 3, what's a phone that's like the note 3 but better?

>Got a Moto Z Droid for $120 on a Best Buy deal

Honestly, it's much smoother in performance compared to my N6 which would be laggy as fuck a quarter of the time for no apparent reason (camera was always a laggy POS but unusable at this point). But damn I don't think I'd even spend $250 on this phone.

>Tiny ass battery

It's probably able to do 4 SOT over the course of an average workday without dying - so that's saying something but if they had the Force as the standard one you're probably looking at like 6 and nobody would notice the bit of extra thickness.

>No headphone jack before it was cool

Enough said muh thinness wins out

>Mediocre camera

I mean at least I can take photos without waiting 30-45 seconds like the N6 sometimes.

>No wireless charging

You have to buy a big ass battery mod to get this, making it the thickest phone I've used ever, therefore basically the only appeal of the phone, the thinness.

Oh and the thinness is so ridiculous you basically have to use the included wood back cover just to really hold it.

I got mine a week and a half ago, so I can't tell you too much about it. So far I am very happy with it, the screen is great, the sound is great and the cameras are surprisingly good even in low light. I didn't expect them to be, most cameras on low-priced phones like this are so-so but this one really impressed me with it's cameras. The battery seems to last rather long, too.

I didn't actually buy it as a daily driver, though, I wanted a 7"-ish tablet and found that a 6.5" phone would give much better bang for the buck than the tablets available.

I wanteded a One Plus Three, but I'm on Verizon in the states so it's a no go. Guess I'll just get an S7 since I don't really care much for the edge.. just seems gimmicky to me.

I really don't know shit about phones other than it's portable NSA/Datamining. What are my other options? I've got a Verizon upgrade so if I could use that it'd be dope.

What launcher does /g/ recommend for Android?

MoKee is basically the same but independent and with a(i)dds in the update center (since they dont make money). You can block the adds with adaway.
They have the same update routine as cm. Every oday nighties and every other week a stable release.

>>58227302
i use either arrow launcher or nova prime. i'm a bit suspicious of novas effect on battery life, but lack the proof to condemn that beauty.

>>58227302
Google Now Launcher for the botnet
Nova Launcher for customisability

why does verizon love filling their phones with useless shitty bloatware

Thanks. Has anyone used evie? Looks like an interesting option, gonna give it a try I think

which xposed should I install for miui8 (rn3p) ?
The official one or some modded from xda ?

>>58227507
Pretty sure MIUI has its own xposed

>>58227608
flashed one from Nov from miui forums, phone is almost ready!

Haven't used xposed recently, any new/interesting modules to try ? So far I've found Android N-ify and willing to try it.

CM hasn't died. There's still access to all the snapshots/nightlies so far~

So apparently there's a new global version of the Redmi 4A, with more LTE bands inc. B20

Whats the story on the HTC Bolt at Sprint?

LG G4 vs Samsung Galaxy S6 vs Nexus 5X vs Lumia 950
I mainly want to listen to music, take photos and not have to worry about the software. I also won't switch my phone every year, so longevity is important. All cost about the same.

How common is the bootloop and do you have any future-proof recommendations in the 300€-400€ price range.

>>58229039
Recommend something better then.

>>58229039
I get like 25% better battery life without gapps and there's an alternative for everything.

is there a vr viewer that has the necessary adjustments for the note edge? or should i make my own out of a squirrel some string and a vr viewer?

my problem is that the note edge is 82.8 millimeters wide and 151 millimeters tall, and the note 4 that everyone knows is 10 millimeters slimmer

>>58229075
>future-proof recommendations in the 300€-400€ price range
OP3T. go buy it.

>>58228915
Samsung or Lumia easily. If you use it for simple tasks and take care of em they should be just fine in the long run.

>>58229075
iPhone SE, OP3T

>>58229118
440€ here, so it's over my budget.

>>58229148
Is there anything else wrong with LGs besides the bootloop issue?

>>58229163
Both over my budget.

>>58229209

Zuk Z2 Pro.

https://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-zuk-z2-pro

Can't beat those specs for 300€.

>z2 pro just arrived in country
Fuck yeah. I should get it next week, yeah?

Really hype, this is my first flagship phone since the old Xperia x10

>>58229209
Moto Z Play? HTC 10?

>>58229255
Not that other anon, but I've been looking at the zuk z2 for a while now. I just wished it had a SD card slot. If it did, it would be GOAT

Not him but you're forgetting about the 2016 CDMA variant of the J7, that $149 boost mobile one on amazon.

I have it and can comfirm it is one of the 2016 variants with 2GB of RAM and does in fact have the snapdragon 615. A little bit slower but still has 8-bit HEVC hardware decoding.

>>58229236
I read a little about it and it seems to occur mostly if the phone heats excessively and LG is aware of it and will fix the phone. I'm still probably going to leave LG out of consideration.

>>58229264
Never even heard of that but I'll check it.

>>58229297
Both over 400€.

The bootloop everyone is talking about happens randomly, I know because it happened to me about 4 weeks ago on my LGG4. It sucks because you fuckin lose everything and it can happen at anytime. Essentially it's a timebomb and if you want longevity then do NOT choose LG. For the record I didn't add shit to my phone other an mp3 player I don't do the root thing that everyone does.

>>58229264
Depends on customs in your country.

>>58228915
No

You'll probably wind up worrying about touchwiz though. So try finding a HTC 10 for that price or look towards used flagships. Longevity isn't really a thing with android though unless you get comfortable with flashing roms.

>>58229332
No it does not. CPUZ lists all SD 615/616/617 as 615.

>>58229163
>iPhone SE
anon didn't say he was a homosexual

>>58229348
Pretty much, it's very unfortunate. There's ZERO warning, it just fucking happens.

>>58229376
It's a solid device though, with updates that'll outlive phones that launched a couple weeks ago so it's a pretty good recommendation - especially with those looking for smaller screens.

>>58229371
Then how do I comfirm what snapdragon SoC I have on my J7?

>>58229399
But iphones are meant for homosexuals, anon didn't specify that he sucked cocks on a daily basis. Besides it had every single problem listed in >>58225492

>>58229343
>>58229209
If you can afford 400€ phone you can afford a €450 phone. Or did your parents decide your budget?

>>58229437
Oh so you're 15 and poor, nice.

>>58229437
If your'e in America you have the SD617 which is a fixed version of the heat monster that was the SD615.

If Europe/Asia, Exynos 7870.

>>58229348
Then LG is out of question. Shame, because I would have liked the changeable battery.

>>58229364
There's no chance to find the HTC for such a low price here. The other anon said Lumia is ok, so what's your take on it?

>>58229453
I can indeed afford pretty much any phone on the market but at the moment it's not wise for me to spend much money on a phone. My birthday is on Saturday and parents have promised to sponsor this phone for 200€ and everything above that comes from my own wallet. 400€ is the absolute maximum, because I need to save money. Such is the life of a student.

>>58229561
I think Lumia hardware can actually be quite nice and unique in design comparison to competition. The 950 especially is pretty great, so with that hardware you can't go wrong. However, it's windows phone. For that reason alone I can never get into any lumia devices seriously as a daily driver. You might love it though (if you know you won't be missing any apps), so I recommend seriously heading into any electronics store and trying it out before deciding on it.

My current phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini and none of the apps I'd want to use work on it, so I'm used to living without apps. It's a shame though, because apps would be nice but on the other hand I've managed to live without them for years.
